Assessment Task 2: Human resources requirements project

Resources required

 Computer and Microsoft Office

 Access to Boutique Build Strategic and Operational Plan

 Access to the internet for research

 Space for a meeting

Context and conditions of assessment

This assessment should be completed in the classroom as part of the simulated work environment. The

assessor will advise dates for submission.

Instructions to student

All assessment activities relate to a fictional organisation, Boutique Build Australia Pty Ltd.

You are required to determine human resources strategies for Boutique Build Australia and you will need to

do this by reviewing the company’s strategic plan in order to determine its goals and objectives and resulting

human resources needs, as well as consulting with managers on their human resource needs.

Boutique Build Australia Pty Ltd is a boutique building company based in Sydney that specialises in
the design and build of high quality designer homes for the Sydney metropolitan and surrounding
areas. The company has been operational for seven years. The company employs the following staff:

Managing Director, Marketing and Sales Manager, Sales Consultants (4), Office Manager, Human
Resources Manager, Human Resources Assistant, Construction Manager, Site Manager (2),
Production Draftsperson (2), 6 Carpenters and a range of contract staff, including plumbers,
electricians, tilers, painters and plasterers.

The workforce is predominantly male with the only three females employed (the Office Manger and
the two Human Resources positions). As indicated in the Strategic Plan, the company wishes to
increase the number of women in its workforce.

Another current staff issue for the company is that while the use of contractors e.g. tillers, painters
and plasterers reduces the company’s ongoing staff overheads, at times it is difficult to ensure that all
the required contractors are available to work on the company’ s projects.

The company’s vision as stated in its Strategic Plan is to be the best boutique home builder in
Australia. Its values are listed as quality, innovation, leadership, respect and honesty and reliability.

As the Human Resources Manager for the company you have been tasked by the General Manager
as part of the ongoing continuous improvement of the company to review and report on human
resources services.

Complete the following activities:

Part A: Prepare for the meeting

At least a week prior to the meeting, send out an Outlook invite to the Managing Director, Marketing and Sales

Manager, Office Manager and Construction Manager staff inviting them to attend a meeting to discuss their

human resources needs and strategies.

Note that your assessor will advise you of the students who will role play the staff members (your assessor

will be the Managing Director) and the date and time that you should conduct this meeting. Your assessor will

also provide you with the email addresses to send your invitation to the meeting.

Your Outlook invite should indicate the date, time and duration of the meeting as well as the purpose of the

meeting, including a request to managers to consider prior to the meeting their human resources needs so

that this can be discussed at the meeting. Advise managers that they should consider a range of areas as

part of human resources needs, for example, workforce planning, recruitment strategies, professional

development and so on.

You should inform Managers that the meeting will last for at least 30 minutes.

In preparation for the meeting you will need to research and develop a briefing report that addresses the

following:

 An analysis of the company’s strategic priorities and their relationship to human resources.

 A PESTLE analysis that identifies and analyses external factors that affect or are likely to affect the

human resources requirements of Boutique Build.

 As the company has also identified that it would like to increase female representation in the

workplace, you should also research and document potential strategies for increasing female

representation.

Your briefing report should be written in clear and concise English and must address all of the above content.

Your briefing report should be approximately 2 pages.

You should email your briefing report to your assessor at least 2 days prior to the meeting. You will be

assessed on whether you have addressed all of the required content and whether your document is at least 2

pages and written in clear and concise English.

about their human resources needs.

You should listen carefully to the feedback provided and ask questions to explore issues further and to

confirm

information.

You will be assessed on your use of effective communication skills, including speaking clearly and concisely

and asking questions and active listening.

At the meeting, you should facilitate the discussion such that some concrete recommendations for human

resources requirements are discussed and agreed upon. These will be documented in the action plan as per

Part C.

You will be assessed as to whether you have addressed all of the required content in the meeting, as well as

your use of effective communication skills.

Part C: Develop human resources strategy action plan

Following the meeting you will be required to develop a 12-month human resources action plan that draws on

your research and analysis as documented in your briefing paper, as well as the outcomes of the meeting.

Your action plan should include clear strategies and actions based on agreed human resources requirements,

as well as roles and responsibilities and timelines.

Your assessor will provide you with a template to use.

Once you have completed these documents, send it to your assessor in the role of Managing Director. Your

assessor will provide you with feedback on your action plan, as well as approval to proceed once the changes

Resources required
 Computer and Microsoft Office
 Access to the internet for research
Context and conditions of assessment
This assessment should be completed in the classroom as part of the simulated work environment. The
assessor will advise dates for submission.
Instructions to student

Part A: Develop a service level agreement

Imagine that the Managing Director has agreed to strategies included in the Action Plan and that one of these

strategies is to develop a service level agreement for core human resources services.

The aim of the Service Level Agreement is to clearly document the services to be provided by the human

resources department, as well as the performance standards for the provision of the services.

As a start you have been asked to develop a Service Level Agreement for recruitment and selection.

Line Managers are now to be involved in the recruitment process as set out in the company’s new recruitment

and selection policy.

The Service Level Agreement you develop should include as a minimum roles and responsibilities and

specific targets in relation to:

 Job analysis

 Advertising

 Preparation of documentation

 Interview

 Appointment offers.

The agreement should clearly set out the services that the HR team will provide in relation to the recruitment

and selection, as well as the responsibilities of the line manager and performance standards. The

responsibilities of each party should be documented as brief dot points and be based on the Boutique Building

Company recruitment and selection policy and procedure provided to you by your assessor.

You task is to develop a service level agreement that includes the following:

 Purpose of the service level agreement

 Responsibilities of Managers (in relation to the SLA inclusions as above)

 Responsibilities of Human Resources Team (in relation to the SLA inclusions as above)

 Monitoring and evaluation arrangements

When you have completed your service level agreement, send it via email to the Managing Director and all

other senior and line managers (this will be your assessor) seeking feedback and approval.

In your email, you should also identify how the service level agreement will be monitored, as well as a

program of training for managers with regard to aspects of the service level agreement that they will now be

responsible. The program of training should cover 12 months and occur at least once every quarter. In your

email you should provide brief details of the training that will be provided, as well as when.

You should also save all your work in appropriate folder/s and provide a screen shot of this to your assessor

with the final version of the SLA, as well as the recruitment policy and procedure. You will be assessed on

your effective organisation of folders/files and information.

Part B: Manage underperformance

Imagine that the Service Level Agreement has been in operation for 3 months and for the following activities

includes the targets as indicated:

Activity Detail Responsibility SLA target

Advertising On receipt of completion
position description template
and approval form, post job

advertising forum

 Shortlisted applications received by HR on 26 May 2015.

 Successful and unsuccessful candidates contacted on 27 May 2015.

Following your analysis, you are required to develop a memo to send to the managers that have not achieved

their targets. Each of the memos you send should restate the target in the service level agreement and

clearly explain which targets have not been met and the variances between actual performance and required

performance. You should also explain your intended actions to ensure targets are met and seek feedback as

to the Manager’s experience of the achievability of the targets and whether there needs to be any role

adjustment.

Your assessor will advise the date for submission of this assessment task. Your memo must be written in

clear and concise English and address all of the above.

Carefully read the following:

Grow Management Consultants is a management consultancy business that was established 7 years ago

by Mark Woodward. The business started with 2 employees, being Mark as the Principal Consultant and an

Administration Officer. The business has grown significantly over the last 5 years and now employs 21 staff,

including 5 Principal Consultants, 5 Senior Consultants (1 of the Consultants is a part-time worker, 3 days a

week and two of the Senior Consultants have recently joined the organisation on a contract basis for up to

one year), 4 Customer Service Officers, a General Manager and a Human Resources Manager and Human

Resources Assistant (part-time, 2 days a week).

Mark is now the CEO of the company and manages the 5 Principal Consultants. Barry, one of the Principal

Consultants manages the five Senior Consultants. The General Manager is the Manager for all of the

remaining staff. There are two offices, one in the CBD and the other in an outer suburb. A new Strategic

Plan has been recently been developed to guide the organisation over the next three years.

Three years ago as the business started to take on more staff, a performance management system was

discussed but never implemented. With the development and implementation of the new Strategic Plan and

the emphasis on developing staff, the CEO is committed to the development of a new performance

management process to address the needs of the organisation.

Currently the organisation has a number of human resources policies and procedures in place, including a

recruitment, selection and induction policy and procedure and a termination policy and procedure.

Complete the following activities:

1. Develop performance management processes

As the newly appointed Human Resources Manager, you have been tasked with developing and

implementing a performance management system for Grow Management Consultants. You are required to

review the existing human resources policy and procedures as well as the organisation’s Strategic Plan and

develop a proposed performance management process for Grow Management Consultants. You should

document this in a report to present to the management team for feedback and approval.

The first part of this assessment requires you to review the scenario information to identify the issues that

need to be considered when developing an updated performance management process for the organisation.

You should also review and analyse the Strategic Plan to identify relevant objectives and policies that

should be reflected in the revised performance management processes. You should also review existing

human resources policies and procedures to identify where a performance management process can fit in

with existing processes.

Following this you will need to develop a report to present to the management team (your assessor) on the

new performance management processes. The report should address the following:

 A summary of the current situation at Grow Management Consultants with regard to performance

management process and existing policies and procedures.

o Design of learning and development strategies and plans

o Timing of performance reviews; ongoing progress reviews as well as formal reviews.

o Effective feedback as part of the performance management process

o Performance management and talent management

o How performance management processes will apply to contract staff.

Email your report attached to an email to the CEO (your assessor). Your assessor will advise you of receipt

of the report and a date and time for the meeting.

2. Meet with the management team

The next part of the assessment requires you to meet with the management team to seek feedback on your

recommended performance management processes.

At the meeting, you should go through your report that you have developed, carefully explaining your

proposed performance management processes.

The management team (your assessor) will discuss the proposed processes with you and will provide you

with feedback. During the meeting, you should reach agreement on the key features of the performance

management process.

During the meeting, you will be required to demonstrate effective communication skills including:

Assessment Task 3 Instructions

Carefully read the following email received from one of the Managers at Grow Management Consultants.

Dear Human Resources

Manager

I am writing to discuss an issue that I am currently having with a staff member, Janice White.

As you know, Janice was employed as an Administration Officer some months ago. Her work is of a high

standard, but unfortunately she is consistently late for work – usually somewhere between 30 minutes and

an hour. She does make this time up at the end of the day, but it creates problems for us at the beginning of

the day, as there is no one to answer phones and other staff who are also trying to do their own work then

have to answer phones.

I am unsure of how to approach this situation and I’ve also been told that Janice is having some personal

issues. Janice’s next performance review isn’t for another three months.

I would appreciate your feedback on this matter.

Kind Regards

Manager

Complete the following activities:

1. Advise on performance monitoring and intervention

Based on your review of the above case study information and the performance management processes

that you developed in the previous assessment task, send an email to the Manager (your assessor) advising

of the performance management process that must be followed, including documenting of all associated

meetings and correspondence.

Your email must be in clear and concise English.

Assume you receive a further email from the Manager as follows:

Dear Human Resources Manager

I had what I thought was a good chat with Janice about her ongoing lateness. Janice confided in me about

her personal problems and as I suggested she access the company’s counsellor.

We also talked about the need for Janice to ensure she is on time as the phones need to be answered and

this is part of her job role. It is clearly stated in her job description. Janice advised that she will ensure she is

on time but she also said that she thinks it is unfair that other staff are able to work flexible working

arrangements and that she isn’t. She also emphasized that she always makes up for the time at the end of

the day when she is late.

For the last two weeks, Janice has been on time despite her disagreement with her work arrangements.

However, she has started to be consistently late again. I spoke to her again and this time Janice said that

she isn’t prepared to always have to arrive at 9 am when other staff have flexible working arrangements.

She said she’d try and be there most of the time but couldn’t always guarantee it.

She also has not accessed the counselling service to my knowledge. Janice is a hard worker bur the

situation is not acceptable. Please advise of the next formal steps that should be taken.

Kind Regards

Manager

2. Advise on dispute resolution procedures

Carefully review the case study information above, as well as the information at the following link and the

Fair Work Ombudsman Best practice dispute resolution guide:

http://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/oirwww/Employment_info/Managing_employees.page

In addition, review legislation on flexible working arrangements noting that Janice is aged 30 and does not

have any dependents.

https://www.fairwork.gov.au/employee-entitlements/flexibility-in-the-workplace/flexible-working-

arrangements

When you have completed your review, send an email to the Manager advising of the procedures that

should be followed now. You should also send an email to Janice advising of the issue and the procedures.

Use the STAR method of feedback in your email to Janice.

Your emails must be in clear and concise English. Send both emails to your assessor for marking.

Assume that the disciplinary/dispute resolution process has been completed and it was found that Janice’s

Review the following email received from the Office Manager

Hi Human Resources Manager

Recently four of my staff attended a successful communication techniques workshop with Sales Training

Australia. The cost of the session was $200 per staff member.

All of the staff came back after the all day workshop complaining of the following:

 The workshop was very disorganised – it was supposed to start at 9.30 am and finally commenced

at 10.30 am due to technical problems with the projector.

 The content of the workshop was, according to staff, ‘101’ communication techniques and no one

learnt anything.

 There was no practical component – it was a dry lecture format.

Under the circumstances I would like the human resources department as the organiser of this training to

put in a complaint to this provider and seek compensation of some form.

Kind Regards

Manager

6. Negotiate remedial action

Review the information above and consider what form of remedial action you could seek from the training

provider. Based on your review, write an email to the provider to outline the issues and to negotiate remedial

action.

7. File documents

File all the documents that you have developed and been provided with in clear and logical files as you

would in a real workplace situation. Take screen shots that show how you have organised all of your files

within folders.

Assessment Task 2 Instructions

Complete the following activities:

Carefully read the following scenario information:

Grow Management Consultants is a small management consultancy business specializing in leadership

development services.

Paul Burn, the Principal Consultant, established the company in 2010 and was a sole operator for a

number of years. However, in the last two years, the number of clients has grown and an increasing

number of staff have been employed. Currently the company employs three senior consultants on an

annual contract basis. The company also employs a full-time Client Relations Manager, Marketing

Manager, a Customer Service Officer and an Administration Officer.

Due to expected continued expansion of the company and therefore staff, the company has recently

employed a Human Resources Manager whose primary role in the first instance will be to a range of

human resources functions, including employee relations. Basic human resources policies and procedures

are in place, including recruitment, selection and induction policy. The company also has a Strategic Plan,

which includes objectives for staffing.

Currently, working hours for all employees are 9 am to 5.30 pm.

A staff survey has also been conducted recently to assess employee relations within the company and to

identify employee relations needs and policies and plans required.

1. Assess employee relations needs

 Assume that you have been tasked in the role of the newly appointed Human Resources Manager to

develop a short report for the management team about the company’s current employee relations

climate and need for new employee relations policies and plans.

 This requires you to complete and report on the following activities:

o Review the Grow Management Consultant’s Strategic Plan to determine the organisation’s long-

term employee relations objectives.

o Review the results of the staff survey that has been conducted recently to assess the

company’s performance in regard to employee relations and in relation to its own workforce

objectives as specified in the Strategic Plan.

o Identify options for introducing new employee relations policies and plans to meet identified

needs. You are required to identify at less three options and for each option, evaluate costs and

benefits, risks and current legislative requirements.

 Your report should be 1 – 2 pages and be written in clear and concise English.

 When you have completed your report, send it via email to the management team (your assessor).

2. Develop a working from home policy and procedure and action plan

 Assume based on the report that you submitted that management has identified that a preferred policy

option is to develop a working from home policy and procedure and an action plan for implementation.

The requirement is that this be implemented within 3 months and be managed by the Human Resources

Manager.

 You are therefore required to develop a working from home policy and procedure for the company, as

well as a plan for introduction of the arrangements. To do this you will need to use the Internet to

research working from home policies and procedures/arrangements used by other employers. You

should also consider when developing the policy and procedure and plan whether the arrangements will

apply to all employees and if not, how will this be handled in terms of potential conflict. Make notes and

then in your own words, develop a policy and procedure and action plan for the organisation.

 Your policy and procedure and action plan will be developed using the templates provided and will need

to show key actions required, timelines and responsibilities. Your assessor will advise you of the date for

submission and your action plan will need to be written in clear and concise English.

 Your action plan will need to address:

o Communication strategies for implementing the working from home policy.

o Additional documentation that will need to be developed such as a working from home checklist.

o Training that will be provided to both managers managing employees from home, as well as

employees working from home. You should include specific details of the training that should

be provided.

o ICT issues that will need to be resolved from people working from home. Identify the issues and

devise strategies to address issues.

o Risks associated with the implementation of the plan and strategies to address these. Identify at

least three risks and associated strategies.

o Timelines and responsibilities given the scenario information.

 Send a copy of the documents via email to your assessor ahead of the meeting.

3. Present working from home policy and procedure and action plan

 The next part of this assessment requires you to present your working from home policy and

procedure and action plan to the management team.

 Participate in a meeting with the stakeholders (role-played by your assessor and students from your

group). Provide a printed copy of the proposed policy and procedure and action plan to each

person.

 At the meeting you will need to go through your policy and procedure and action, clearly explaining

the information and your ideas.

 At the meeting the management team will ask you questions and provide you with feedback.

 Following the meeting, you will need to update you working from home policy and procedure and

action plan to reflect feedback from the management team and send a final version to your

assessor.

3. Inform employees

 The final part of this assessment task is to inform employees about the new working from home policy
and procedure.

 Develop a short email about the new arrangements and a summary of the actions as per your action

plan for rollout. Your article should be written clearly and simply and explain the key provisions of the

new policy, including clarifying which staff may benefit from the working from home arrangements.

4. Review success of policy and procedure

Assessment Task 4 Instructions

Complete the following activities:

Read through the following case study:

Marion is employed as a Sales Representative with Cherry Enterprises, a metal fabrication company

who also specialise in laser cutting services. The company employs approximately 25 staff, 5 of

whom are Sales Representatives.

Marion approaches the Operations Manager (who is responsible for human resources issues) to

discuss a pay related matter. Marion recently joined the company in a part-time position as she

wishes to manage her family responsibilities. Jason, another Sales Representative, joined the

company one month prior to Marion and is working full-time.

In conversation with Jason, Marion learns that Jason’s full-time salary is $52,000 per annum plus

super. When she works out her part-time salary in relation to Jason’s full-time salary, Marion realises

that if she were working full-time hours, she would not be earning the same full-time salary rate as

Jason. Marion’s rate calculated on a full-time basis comes to $47.000 per annul. Marion believes that

she has the same level of experience and skills as Jason as she worked in sales for 10 years prior to

leaving the workforce to have children.

The company does not have an enterprise agreement. All employees are employed based on a

contract between the company and the employee. The contract reflects minimum conditions as per

the National Employment Standards.

The Operations Manager discusses the matter with the General Manager. As Jason has worked in

the metal fabrication industry previously as a sales representative and in addition has highly

specialised knowledge of laser cutting techniques, it is on this basis that Jason is paid more because

he has to deal with both general customers, as well as customers who require laser cutting services.

The General Manager believes that the situation needs to be handled carefully as it could lead to a

conflict within the organisation about gender equity in pay. He asks the Operations Manager to

conduct some research and prepare a report for discussion prior to meeting with Marion to discuss

the situation.

1. Research gender equity in pay

 This assessment task requires you to conduct the research as per the General Manager’s requirements.

 Your research should address:

 Expert sources of information on gender equity and pay.

 A review of gender equality legislation, including legislation that applies and who it applies to.

 Statistics on gender equity in pay and outline the current situation/

 Best practiced in gender equity in pay.

 When you have completed your research, provide a short briefing report to the General Manager on

your research, as well as outlining the situation and key facts and your recommendations on how to

approach the workplace situation including the required outcomes, the strategy that you will use at

the meeting to discuss the situation and your timelines for addressing the situation.

2. Prepare for and participate in workplace meeting

 The next part of the assessment requires you to participate in a meeting with Marion. Assume that

based on your report, the General Manager has advised that he still believes that Marion is not entitled

to the same rate of pay and would like you to meet with Marion to advise her of the decision. Your

assessor will role play Marion and will advise you of the date and time of the meeting.

 Prior to the meeting, you should practice what you are going to say to Marion, including confirming the

situation and outlining the company’s response. You should be clear and direct and thoroughly explain

the company’s decision, including why Jason is paid more. You should anticipate that Marion is likely to

be upset and be able to calmly counter any arguments that Marion raises in regard to whether your

actions is lawful. You should explain the legislative position as you identified through your research in

Part A.

 Following the meeting, you will need to send an email to Marion confirming the outcomes.

3. Research enterprise agreements

 Assume that an outcome of the meeting is that the organisation has decided that it needs to

investigate the introduction of an enterprise agreement to ensure that terms of employment are

clearly documented.

 Develop a short report for management as follows:

 Identify the benefits of enterprise agreements. Write down at least two enterprise agreements

registered with the Fair Work Commission.

 Explain the process of developing and registering an enterprise agreement.

 Outline the key inclusions of an enterprise agreement.
